Comment on Canning recipe: Marinara sauce by Diane

I made this like you instructed – and with a few mods based on qty I had – of course. But Holy Shit, Woman. This is the heroin of marinara sauce. I added some hot pepper flakes because we love spicy, otherwise, pretty much as you described.

I hope I have enough tomatoes next summer to do at least three 5 gallon batches of this. We have a local marinara fave, but this recipe takes it to town. And then doesn’t call it the next day.

Please post more.

I laughed out loud at your instructions, but imagine my horror in just searching for processing time for marinara after mine were already processing just to learn that i need lemon juice! ack! i forgot that! Am i going to poison myself? you know, i just don’t see it happening with tomato sauce. i’m a live on the edge kind of girl. i’m going to risk it. but thanks for the laugh…and the gin tip…although that probably would have made me burn my sauce.

i think you need to make friends with a token hipster, and you can invite them when you go out to dinner. they’ll ignore you, but you’ll get better service. everyone wins!

Have you threatened to break them in half yet? To quote a wise man from a cult sci-fi show, “You get more with a kind word and a two by four than with just a kind word.”

So, I, of course, agree. But I must add that among the many many annoying things are the odd and unfortunate decor, the fact that they don’t even bring you your drinks but just sullenly drop them on the end of the bar in an unexpressed apparent belief that you’ll come and get them. I’m paying a top end price for my cocktail or ironcally brewed ipa and I don’t even get a head nod that indicates these are my drinks? Keep you wifebeater tees and your
ironic hats. I’ll take basic service please.
Other than that the suck food is great.
